Sorry to say, John, but conditions in Masset were VERY interesting with AIR
Andaman Islands on 684 at armchair levels, well over // SW on 4760. It was a
weird morning with rapid fades up and down, being replaced totally by stations
thousands of km away. Plenty of Indian activity with 1548 heard well, later
DU, Farda very well heard on 1575. Not sure whether AIR 1566 showed up (unlike
yesterday when I heard it very well!). Sawa very well heard on 1539. Alaskans
were really neat too with Barrow on 680 and Kotzubue (?sp) on 720 dominating
for much of the morning. I'm glad I'll have many hours of great SDR files to
play with as I'm sure that I'll hear a lot more neat stuff. Bangladesh not
quite as strong on 693 today. I suspect I also heard the Indian on 864, but
will need to research the clips further. Have fun down there, fellas! Wish I
could join you, but 4 days of straight TA/TP work is exhausting! ..Walt

I'm looking forward to downloading e-mail today (at the Local
Tavern,
since the Library is closed on Mondays). In general, I
hope the NW
DX Reports for this morning are Pedestrian, because that is
darn
sure what Guy and I experienced here. Guy didn't quite get his
Lankford Array set up at the State Park, encountering more heavy
brush than he expected, so he joined me at the Grayland Motel,
RM. 15
at 4:30AM to borrow an antenna. We had a great time from
then until
after 8:15 PDT (1515 UT) but only have the regulars in the log
book mind you, that is about 50 or more TP stations,
but
still. On Orcas, I would have considered this a good-
not great morning.
The two more interesting events were:
1. An accidental logging of KOTZ, Kotzebue, Alaska on 720 at pre-
dawn
1400. I was trying to sort out a Chinese and KDWN, Las Vegas and
heard a pop-up 720, NPR clear as a bell. Unneeded, but still fun.
2. Was checking 1548 for DW Sri Lanka at 1405 when Guy and I
both
thought we heard a few words of GermanNot enough for a
logging,
but I'm going to process the recording and see if I can at least
confirm the language.
So, that is it at least we won't have to spend time in the
days
ahead logging the regulars.
